With David Carr’s Passing, The Left Has Lost A Major Voice

David Carr, the New York Times media critic, has died. He was found in the Times office at 9 PM Thursday night. Those who knew him say he looked ghastly in his last several days. Published accounts of his life tell us Carr was a drug addict who was not to be trusted to tell the truth.

Drug addicts in Carr’s close circle suspect he returned to his voracious appetite for cocaine. One who was identified by the site Gotnews.com made this comment about his friend David: “If he was going to casinos [with….] and watching hundreds of thousands of dollars get made and lost, he was at a level of hedonism that definitely involved cocaine. He went back on coke and had a heart attack. I just know it. Us old coke heads remember doing lines and when we do them after a 10 year absence, the heart can’t handle it.”

If there ever was somebody who is “one of them,” it was David Carr. He was a vigorous defender of Brian Williams and Jackie Coakley, the fake rape victim at the University of Virginia; and he attacked the investigative blogger who dragged her lies into the light of day.

Carr was a deliberate liar who falsified a story he inserted into his obituary of Andrew Breitbart. He wrote that Breitbart joined with James O’Keefe to smear Shirley Sherrod, the black bigot who was caught revealing herself as such on a video posted by Breitbart. Jim O’Keefe had absolutely nothing to do with exposing Sherrod; but to a liberal apparatchik like Carr, that made no difference. When called out on this lie, he ignored requests to correct his “mistake.”

The liars on the Left have been taking it on the chin lately. They have lost Brian Williams, Jon Stewart, and now David Carr. The march of the conservative bloggers goes on. We have to continue to save what’s left of America. We have to believe that the truth will eventually win out, and that the liberal parrots of the old media will fade away.

It’s rarely a happy occasion when someone dies, and certainly David Carr’s death was nothing to be wished for; but the Left has lost a voice, and that’s not a bad thing. Mourning David Carr? No thanks, I’ll pass.
